If they pick another old white man I'm going to be outraged.

Oh, I can't wait to read Free Republic if it is a black pope. I'm going to order a couple pizzas and a grab a 12 pack and just wallow in the hate and stupidity for days.

if they pick a middle-aged black man, i will be outraged. and by outraged, i mean amused enough to crack as many bad taste jokes i can think of, but really not give half of a shit.

The problem is all those damn liberal cardinals in the Catholic church.

so, they had to wrap this up before bayern/arsenal kicked off, right? (they like to see young men abused)

Scottie · Post by **Scottie** » Wed Mar 13, 2013 2:15 pm

This is a nice coincidence of events given that I'm deeply immersed in re-reading Christopher Hitchens' "God Is Not Great (How Religion Poisons Everything). Which, if you have not read, get a man on that immediately.

Would you buy a Latin pope then? Or is that just too farfetched?

Filipino, maybe?

Lighten up, Francis!

Scottie · Post by **Scottie** » Wed Mar 13, 2013 2:20 pm

So . . . they are aiming at the poor, the least educated, the least connected. Fitting since intellectuals long since gave up on religion as a relic from humanity's infancy; turn to the dumb ones to bulk up on believers.

Francis? After a guy that used to wander out into the woods and talk to birds. Yeah, that's fittingly insane.

core competencies. key demographics. all that business stuff.

I like my Pope like I like my women. South American. Though this guy is apparently the son of an Italian.

On the bright side, the man is 76, which virtually assures us that we get to do this all over again in a few years.

Most 76 year olds I've been in contact with struggle to remain upright for 8 hours a day. Not sure why you would want somebody like that in charge of anything, let alone the most wonderful church in the world.

I can see why the crowd is so excited. Dead languages always get the blood flowing.

Bergoglio just wanted it more.

How can you take anybody named Francis seriously?

(Other than Ronnie Francis, of course)

Yeah, I would have talked to the birds, too.

Well, penguins.

This excitement has just been too much. I'm going to take a cold shower.

He's a 76-year-old guy with one lung. We're going to be doing this again here very soon.

temporassy · Post by **temporassy** » Wed Mar 13, 2013 2:52 pm

So do the most likely candidates have their Pope name picked out beforehand, or is it bad luck to think about stuff like that?

That's precisely what it is; folly to think otherwise. And when this guy's done for, whether by natural causes or they whack him like JP1, expect an African. Not for the sake of having a Black man as head of the corporation just to say they did, like Barry Soetoro, but because that population will be the least educated, least connected, poorest, and most likely to follow institutional fairy tales.

Humans just can't get past that stupid insecure need to believe in something greater than themselves. The ones smart enough to dismiss the monotheistic myths merely switched their focus to the Earth Goddess in the neo-religion of Environmentalism which is the same shit (different pile) as Catholicism, Islam, whatever; swallowing doctrine whole, worshiping fictions, all at the cost of everyone else, the world in general.
